[Note from Bob Trenoweth]: *I'm sure this is supposed to be Nashua, If not, N.H. is the Country Music capital of the world!
[Note from Dave Carlsen]: After reading Bob's comment, I checked Nashua's history and found that the town was divided into Nashua and Nashville in 1842. It wasn't until 1853 that the two towns were reincorporated as Nashua. Read more about the history of Nashua, New Hampshire.
